Food and Dining

There are no dining courts available at Ivy Tech Community College. If you want food you have to get it out of a vending machine. I think it would be a good idea for this campus to look into building a cafeteria for their students.

Dorm Life

There currently are no dorms available at this college. In the future they may have housing available. This would be more pleasing to students who come to the Columbus campus from farther away.

Academic Rigor

I don't think the academic level at Ivy Tech is as high as it should be. I believe that since it is a community college they are a lot easier than if you went to a bigger school such as Indiana University or Purdue University. I think they should make their academics should be harder.

Campus Safety

I have never heard of any safety issues.

Great for these types of students

I am an older student (mid twenties) and there are a wide range of students in all my classes. There are some people that could be my grandparents and some fresh out of high school. Its good to see the different perspectives of the age groups.

Bang for the buck

With federal grants, I have to pay very little to be a full time student. This is the biggest advantage to this school. You have good professors, but costs significantly less than 4 yr schools.

What to do for fun

I am so busy with work and school, I am not able to take advantage of those opportunities. There are things like bowling, wiffle ball tournaments, dances, and many other things.

Food and Dining

There is no food either.

Dorm Life

There are no dorms.

Academic Rigor

The classes haven't been too hard so far, but there is a lot of work involved.

Katelynn from Saint Paul, IN

Ivy Tech is a great place if you are like me and don't like being around a lot of new people and don't want to be a number.

Tips for prospective students

Don't skip classes at all and just do your best and you will love it.

Bang for the buck

Ivy Tech seems to also be a very inexpensive school compared to most colleges which is another reason that I love going to this school. It doesn't drain you out of all your money like every other college will do. If you want to go to a small, cheap, school where you can get all the help you need to succeed then Ivy Tech is the place to go.

Am enjoying being here

I enjoy it here at Ivy Tech. Like I said above it's a small school which is good for me because I don't really like to be around a lot of people that I don't know. Also, as said above, classes are small and you can get more attention from your teachers unlike at some huge college where the classes are so big that you just become a number sitting in the room. I enjoy the classes and all of the teachers are extremely nice and always want to help you if you just ask.

Am learning a lot

I'm learning a lot at Ivy Tech. It's a small school and there really aren't that many people at the school so each class is easier than at a regular college because you can get more help from a teacher when you need it and you won't be just a number.

Vanessa from Columbus, IN

Great for students who want an inexpensive education quickly, also great for transfer credits.

Tips for prospective students

I definitely suggest attending here as a stepping stone for a bigger school or a two year degree.

Bang for the buck

It is very inexpensive, as all community colleges are, except it has great architecture and wonderful computer labs.

Am enjoying being here

The campus is small, and I learned where everything was on the first day. Classes are small, too, so it is not so bad to speak in front of a small group and I feel like I get extra attention here.

Am learning a lot

Since cappex doesn't have my school on here (IUPUC) I will put a review under the closest school to it and pretend I'm reviewing Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus. Most of the teachers are very motivated to teach as much as possible in as little amount of time, but if they are going too quick they will slow down. Teachers are always available outside of class. The material is current and relevant to my interests.
